Bengal junior doctors continue ceasework in protest against RG Kar medical student's rape-murder

Kolkata/IBNS: The junior doctors across West Bengal on Tuesday continued with their ceasework bolstering their protest against the rape and murder of a woman trainee doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, media reports said.


The protests have paralysed the healthcare services at hospitals where long queues of patients waiting at out-patient departments were seen.

The protesters have set August 14 as the deadline for police to complete the probe.

Meanwhile, the students of Calcutta National Medical College on Tuesday blocked former RG Kar College principal Dr. Sandip Ghosh from entering into the campus protesting against the alleged rape and murder of the medical student.

The West Bengal government on Monday appointed Dr. Ghosh as the principal of Calcutta National Medical College hours after he resigned from the same post at RG Kar Medical College, where the medical student was raped and murdered at the seminar hall.

The students locked Dr. Ghosh's room, denying him entry into the hospital.

Not just the students blocked Dr. Ghosh, they also shouted "Go Back" slogans at Trinamool Congress MLAs Javed Khan and Swarnakamal Saha.

"How can you guarantee a similar incident like what happened in RG Kar will not take place here? We don't want someone like Dr. Sandip Ghosh as the principal," the protesters told Saha in a clear message.

Dr. Ghosh, who faced the ire for alleged mismanagement and financial irregularities at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, resigned from his post on Monday.

However, the government posted him to CNMC within hours after he reportedly stepped down. Dr. Ghosh had claimed he resigned "willingly" and "not under pressure".
